A not so short introduction to ConTeXt - French version - progress report.

[Garulfo <garulfo@azules.eu>]

Hi all,

concerning the fr version of "not so short introduction to ConTeXt"

I have just finished an attempt to reorganise the content.
It is in "fr2" directory in the Github repository
https://github.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context

It results from many many "copy/paste". I still have to review all the 
pages and flow between each section … (and  after to switch to the 
french interface of ConTeXt commands …).

Part 3 - Typesetting "overall" ---------------------------------

        - En-tête et pied de page
        - Polices
        - Couleurs
        - Langue
        - Interactivité

Part 4 - Typesetting "specific" ---------------------------------

        - mirror of Part 2



3 principles for this new organization :

1/ clearly split "markup" and "typesetting/formatting"
    in order to
    - help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas
    - deal with the markup (part 2) in as few as possible pages
       - <60 pages
       - one topic = 1 or 2 pages
       - no
    - prepare user to use env files
    - limit digression as much as possible

2/ clearly split "main flow" and "complements to main flow"
    in order to
    - again help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas
    - highlight the fact that complements are usually used to enrich
      the main flow with "non-linearity"

3/ clearly split "general/global" and "specific/local" typesettings
    in order to
    - again help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas
    - prepare user to organise his env files



You can find a one page summary here :

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context/main/fr2/introCTX_fra.pdf#page=11

The 8 following pages provide a quick visual overview of the 28 topics 
that will be detailed in "part 2" and "part 4".

Links help the reader to go on the associated pages (markup or typesetting)

Any comment or idea is welcome.
